Atheism reaches 11% of the planets’ population


In an article published on this edition, our collaborator Anselmo Ferreira Vasconcelos focus on atheism issue whose adepts have become around 749 million of people, 11% of the population of the world where we live in. The data written by him on the Especial “The inexplicable persistence of atheism” are really impressive. In France, for instance, a traditional catholic country, the number of atheists reaches 54% of its population. This percentage is even higher in Sweden, 85% of its inhabitants do not believe in God´s existence. The article is one of this number spots.

Another spot is the interview given to our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara by Sabrina Tomaszewski who was born in São Paulo, SP but lives in Orlando, Florida. She graduated in IT and a master degree in Instruction and Technology Design, she takes part in the activities promoted by the Peace & Knowledge Spirit Center in Orlando, where she integrates its directors’ board. She describes her fruitful experience about the diagnosis of infertility at this present life.

The Spirit Federation of the Federal District promoted in April the 5thSpirit Congress of the Federal District with the theme “God and I, how are we?”. It happened at the Ulysses Guimarães Convention Centre in Brasília. The event put together at around two thousand people among adults, young people and children. It is shown in an especial report written by the journalist and spirit speaker Claudia Correa.
